There are about 36633 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in France. The country of the clinical trial is determined by the location of where the clinical research is being studied. Most studies are often held in multiple locations & countries.

Lupus is an autoimmune disease affecting mainly young women (9/1). Lupus nephritis (LN) occurs in 30% of the cases of lupus and is associated with end stage renal disease (ESRD) in 17 to 25% of cases after 10 years. Overall, nearly 7% of lupus patients will develop ESRD due to LN. Historically, 5-year survival after LN was lower than 20%. Nowadays, 45% of patients suffer from multiple relapses that are associated with an intermediate risk of ESRD. When ESRD occurs, lupus activity decreases progressively to reach a stable extinct state. At this stage it is possible to stop all medications to control lupus, without any flare of lupus activity. Lupus extinction following ESRD corresponds to a state of complete remission. Obtaining such a result before ESRD would avoid damages to several organs and side effects of immunosuppressive therapy. Understanding the mechanisms responsible for lupus extinction following ESRD is an innovative approach to decipher lupus pathophysiology. The objective of the study is to identify the mechanisms responsible for lupus extinction and to propose new therapeutic options based on these new mechanisms. Mechanisms responsible for lupus extinction are unknown. Lupus extinction depends on the duration of ESRD. Accumulation of several toxins that kidneys would normally eliminate in the urine is a hallmark of ESRD. Such toxins are called "uremic toxins" since they accumulate during "uremia" (ESRD). They affect biological systems such as fertility and immunity that are both closely related to lupus pathophysiology. The investigators hypothesize that studying LN extinction after ESRD will provide novel therapeutic targets to extinct lupus before ESRD. To this end, they will investigate several non-exclusive hypotheses based on previous findings of our consortium, or issued from clinical observations: the sexual dysfunction hypothesis and the ESRD-associated immune cells dysfunction hypothesis. In parallel, they will conduct an open screening of new mechanisms underlying the lupus extinction through the characterization of the differential gene expression profile associated with lupus extinction in patients undergoing dialysis.
Adapted athletic activity has shown benefits in patients with certain chronic diseases, including improving fatigue and pain in patients with cancer, and improving the symptoms of severe depression. Among Patients Living with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (PLHIV), sport appears to be less common than for people who do not live with HIV. In fact, 44% of PLHIV in a Swiss cohort (10,500 patients) were inactive in 2014, whereas this percentage was 26% in the general population in Switzerland. We did not find any French data on the prevalence of sports activity among PLHIV. The benefits of sport in PLHIV are numerous: meta-analyzes on interventional studies of aerobic and resistance exercises show a significant improvement in maximum oxygen consumption, muscle strength, percentage of body fat, quality of life and symptoms of depression. An improvement in cognitive function was noted in a randomized study. An Iranian randomized study of 2017 showed an improvement in the CD4 count, after 8 weeks of resistive exercise, but two meta-analyzes of 2016 and 2017 did not find a significant change in CD4 or viral load with physical exercise. On the other hand, several studies have shown that sports practice improves self-esteem. In addition, an Australian randomized study in 2006 showed an improvement in self-efficacy in PLHIVs after a six-month exercise (aerobic and resistance) program. Furthermore, self-esteem (defined as positive self-esteem) is a factor facilitating adherence to antiretroviral therapy. The objective of this descriptive study is to evaluate the prevalence of sports activity in a French adult population infected with HIV and to seek an association with self-esteem. In addition, the investigators will look for an association between sport and fatigue, pain, sleep, lymphocyte T CD4 cell levels, viral load.
Diabetes is not a coronary risk equivalent, despite cardiovascular disease is the most common cause of death in diabetes. So, to identify diabetic patients at high cardiovascular risk is necessary. Coronary artery calcification score predicts major coronary events, and improves risk reclassification in asymptomatic diabetic patients. But, cornary artery calcification score is expensive and exposes patients to radiation. So, it cannot be used for large-scale screening. It could be interesting to identify the predictive factors of coronary artery calcification score. Toe-brachial index is relevant in diabetic patients for the screening of peripheral arterial disease, and predicts cardiovascular events. The aim of this study is to evaluate the association between toe-brachial index and coronary artery calcification score in asymptomatic patients with type 1 or 2 diabetes. The hypothesis is that toe-brachial index is associated with high coronary artery calcification score. It could be performed first to identify patients who require a coronary artery calcification score. It measurement is reliable, fully automated, repoducible ans cost-effectiveness. This is a cross-sectional study, with restrospective data collection. All patients addressed to a one-day hospitalization to assess cardiovascular comorbidities are eligible. Data are collected in patients'medical records. Clinical, biological and imaging data were collected previously during their one-day hospitalization

The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ravulizumab for the treatment of participants with generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG).
This is phase 3b open-label, international, multicenter study to continue to monitor the long-term safety and efficacy of burosumab in adult patients with XLH that participated in previous clinical trials with burosumab (UX023-CL303 / UX023-CL304).
The roles of thrombophilia and cardiovascular risk factors in sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) remain controversial. Cochlear micro-thrombosis has been hypothesized as a possible pathogenic mechanism of SSNHL. The objective was thus to measure the levels of markers of macrovascular thrombosis and microvascular risk factors
